Line 37:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: When Miguel contacted Peter via [[Applied Phlebotinum]] telepathy, the latter asks, half-jokingly, if any other [[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|"selves"]] [[Hearing Voices|are in his head too]]. <ref>It's not clear if the two games are in the same continuity, or this version of Peter went through Shattered Dimensions, or only the original timeline Peter, or--''[[Timey-Wimey Ball|ouch!]]</ref>''
** It's given a second nod in the bonus costumes, with the [[Marvel 1602|Spider-Man 1602]] and [[Ultimate Spider-Man|New Ultimate]] costume referring to the "Crisis of the Shattered Dimensions".
** Also, there's the various archive rooms of Alchemax's CEO {{spoiler|aka Peter Parker 2099}}. They're filled with statues of Amazing Spider-Man's villains from ''Shattered Dimensions'', bearing the exact same designs.
** On his route to trying to stop Anti-Venom from killing Peter, one of the rooms Miguel passes through contains the body of Scorpion 2099 in a tank of chemicals. Scorpion was one of the opponents Miguel defeated in ''Shattered Dimensions''. [[Brick Joke|Spider-Ham]] can also be found at the beginning of Chapter 15 in a similar tank.
** The Sandman can also be found in a chemical tank in "present day" Alchemax, whilst Peter is fleeing from Atrocity.
** On the desk of the CEO in his office, is the Tablet of Order and Chaos from the previous game.
Line 50:
** When {{spoiler|Spider-Man 2099 fights Anti-Venom and Anti-Venom proves to be unable to drain his powers due to them not being radiation-based}}, Walker says to Spider-Man 2099's reveal:
{{quote|'''Walker''': Didn't know, don't care.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death Is Cheap]]: Amazing Spider-Man lampshades the frequency of this with comic book heroes after his own experience, saying he knows how [[Captain America (comics)]] feels. [[X-Men|And Jean Grey. And Colossus.]] He'd have kept going if Spider-Man 2099 hadn't stopped him.}}
* [[Downloadable Content]]: Four alternate costumes based on the "Identity Crisis" storyline.
* [[Dueling Games]]: ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' launched around the same time.
Line 68:
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: {{spoiler|Spider-Man tries this on Anti-Venom after learning about the control chips. It doesn't entirely work, but it does get Brock to fight their influence long enough to keep Spider-Man from getting killed right away.}}
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Tends to be exchanged between the two Spider-Men, such as "do better than your best!".
* [[It Got Worse]]: Quantum Causalities sometimes cause more damage to Miguel's quest. Sometimes hilariously so.
* [[Just Between You and Me]]: Sloane gives a nice monologue of his plan to his holo-assistant early in the game, unaware Spider-Man 2099 is watching from above.
** Averted later when Amazing Spider-Man meets the CEO of Alchamax, who offers to give him one, but he declines due to other matters. He does get around to giving a short one to Spider-Man 2099 later.
* [[Lazy Artist]]: Thanks to the quick turn around from [[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|the last Spidey game]], Activision's [[Cash Cow Franchise|tendency to try and]] [[Call of Duty|milk their franchises]] [[Guitar Hero|for all they're worth]] ''and'' the film series reboot set to be released in 2012 (And likely with a tie-in game to boot), people were already voicing concerns that ''Edge Of Time'' was just going to be "''[[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|Shattered Dimensions]]'' minus the [[Ultimate Spider-Man|Ultimate]] & [[Spider-Man Noir|Noir]] universes" within a day. Partially averted - early previews have noted that both Spider-Men have similar combat styles to ''Shattered Dimensions''; and screenshots show that whilst Spider-Man 2099 retains the art direction from ''Shattered Dimensions'', Amazing Spider-Man is now rendered in a similar manner, [[Captain Obvious|albeit set in the present day]].
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]:
** "You want a Spider-Man who'll do everything you want? Go play a video game."
** Shortly before the final battle, the [[Final Boss]] refers to it as a [[Boss Battle]]. It doubles as an [[Incredibly Lame Pun]], since the [[Final Boss]] is a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]].
Line 79:
* [[Monster Closet]]: The 2099 levels ''adore'' this.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Black Cat 2099, of course.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Jameson speculates that people idolize Spider-Man enough to make a [[Spider Man Turn Off the Dark|Spider-Man musical]].
** When Spidey is first informed of quantum causality, he says "That's Amazing! Spectacular, even!"
** Spider Man 2099's swinging hearkens back to the 2000 Live Action films; there's even similar music.
** The New Ultimate costume notes that there's a new Spider-Man in the Ultimate universe.
Line 99:
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: The Spider-Man of the year 2099 ''is'' trying to prevent the death of the present day Spider-Man...
** {{spoiler|It's also the motive of the true [[Big Bad]], Peter Parker's future self (the CEO of Alchemax in 2099), who wants to go back in time to fix all of the mistakes he made in the past.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: Over the game, the two Spider-Man make references to [[Captain America (comics)]], the [[X-Men]], [[Iron Man]] and the [[Fantastic Four]].
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: Spidey 2099 has kept his habit of saying "Shock" from [[Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions|the last game.]]
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Black Cat 2099's outfit, with a cleavage opening right down to her belly button.
Line 118:
* [[The Usual Adversaries]]: {{spoiler|Atrocity's tentacles keep annoying both Spider-Men.}}
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|Peter Parker 2099}} starts ranting at Miguel as he is defeated.
* [[What Are Records?]]: Miguel is rather unfamiliar with past tech and terms, not knowing about the World Series, cell phones or even toasters.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Both Spider-Man call each other out on this. Amazing Spidey chews out his future counterpart for allowing innocents to die by not doing anything while Spidey 2099 snarls at him about not focusing on fixing the time stream.
* [[You Fight Like a Cow]]: It's ''[[Spider-Man]]'' for crying out loud, and he's being written by [[Peter David]] to boot.
